Planning to visit the UNESCO World Inheritage Mosaics and cycling in the environment we stayed for one week in the very pleasant and charming B&B Galla Placidia run by Gabriela. We were warmly welcomed by Gabriela with a drink and she provided us with all types of information on mosaics, bike renting and other practicalities. We stayed in a large,... More

We too found this an absolute gem and Gabriella a jewel! It seems that the green room with its own terrace weaves its spell over everyone who stays there - we too fell under its spell though heavy rain on our second day limited use of the terrace! The breakfasts are everything you read about in the reviews and more!... More

Like the mosaics of Ravenna the Galla Placidia B&B shines brightly. Past reviewers have described the Galla Placidia accurately - friendly, clean, quiet etc. So if you want to stay in a good little town, see sites of world importance, and a have great place to stay then go to Ravenna.

We endorse all positive reviews of this delightful B&B run by the lovely Gabriella. Having always stayed in hotels when holidaying in Italy, we will investigate staying at B&B's in the future based on our experience at this B&B. We booked five nights at this B&B, but quickly decided to extend our stay an extra night because being in need... More

My mother and I spent four nights in the Green room which has a balcony, a huge double bed, plenty of space for clothes, and a bathroom which - although it is tiny - has lovely tiles and a window (so many bathrooms are just airless cupboards!). Gabriella, who runs the B&B, is absolutely charming and speaks excllent English. We... More

If your itinerary permits, stay at least overnight in the city of Ravenna, which is a vibrant city that has more to offer in addition to its dazzling mosaics. We're glad we did, as it allowed us to enjoy the breath-taking mosaics at different times of the day, avoiding the mid-day crowds. We stayed 2 nights at this gracious B&B.... More

Spent two nights in the Green room. We both slept excellently, loved the balcony and left a book in the room's library. To tell you the truth, even though Ravenna's mosaics are amazing, we didn't really want to leave the room... Gabrielle is an excellent host and we had a lovely time talking with her about the beaches of Sardegna,... More

Stayed for two nights to see the mosaics of Ravenna and would recommend this b & b. Owner is very hospitable and provides a good, varied breakfast. We had the Green Room which was pleasant and spacious.

Our room was spotlessly clean and very roomy. It had a great view of red rooftops with the Basilica in the distance. Location could not have been better being a half-block from the main street of old Ravenna and only a block from the Basilica. Gabriella fixed us great coffee and had a wide variety of choices for breakfast. She... More
